Sascha Baron Cohen, Johnny Depp - The Contest lyrics
rate mePerformed By:
Adolpho Pirelli (Sacha Baron Cohen)
Sweeney Todd (johnny Depp)
Timothy Spall (Beadle Bamford)
Pirelli:
I... am Adolpho Pirelli
the king of the barbers
The barber of kings
and bongiorno, good-day.
I blow you a kiss (blows kiss)
And I, The so famous pirelli
I wish-a to know-a who
has-a the nerve-a to say
my elixir is piss
who says this?
Todd (spoken):
I do, I'm
Mr. Sweeney Todd
of Fleet Street
I 'ave opened a bottle
of Pirelli's elixir,
and I say to you,
that it is nothing
but an arrant fraud,
concocted from piss and ink.
And furthermore signor,
I've serviced no kings,
yet I wager that I can shave
a cheek with ten times the dexterity
than any street mountebank.
Pirelli (spoken):
You hear this foolish man?
Now please, you will see how
you will-s regret this folly.
Todd (spoken):
Who's for a free shave?
Will beadle Bamford be the Judge?
Beadle (spoken):
Glad, as always to oblige
my friends and neighbors.
The fastest, smoothest
shave is the winner. (blows whistle)
Pirelli:
Now signorini, signori
We mix-a the lather
but first-a you gather around
signorini, signori
you look in a man who have
had-a the glory to shave-a
the pope Mr. Sweeney whoever
I beg-a your pardon
will probably say
It was only a cardinal - NOPE
It was-a the pope!
To shave-a the face
to cut-a the hair
require the grace
require the flair.
For if-a you slip
you nick the skin
you clip-a the chin
you rip-a the lip
a bit beyond-a repair.
The shave-a the face
Or even a part
without it-a smart
require the heart
Not just-a the flash
It take-a panash
It take-a the passion
for the art
To shave-a the face
to trim-a the beard
to make-a the bristle
clean like a whistle
This is from early infancy
the talent give to me by god
It take-a the skill
It take-a the brains
It take-a the will
To take-a the pains
It take-a the pace
It take-a the grace
Bamford (spoken):
The winner is Todd.
